"The first time..."

"The second time..."

"The third time, congratulations... Sir, you can take this item!"

The mallet in the auctioneer's hand falls quickly and accurately. The charity fund-raising auction is different from the serious auction house auction.

Generally speaking, in charity fund-raising auction, except that a few people may not be used to it, or people who attend such a party for the first time will make mistakes, normally people will not really compete for bids for a certain commodity.

Everyone will send a commodity to the auctioneer for auction, and then offer a price to buy the commodity. There will be no competition, so the auctioneer doesn't need to mobilize everyone's emotions, just finish the whole process soon.

Penny looked at the goods that might be valuable or she couldn't see where they were valuable, and gradually found some clues after they sold at an amazing price one by one.

"Do you always play like this?" she asked in a low voice.

Today, Lynch brought her to the party, which really opened her eyes. In addition to those people who are hard to see, this special fund-raising auction also made her feel very fresh.

Lynch ignored her. She talked all night, like a curious baby. She asked why, and why.

Lynch was able to answer her questions at first, but soon he was too lazy to answer them.

Because as soon as she answered a question, she had a new question.

Auctions start at the back, then move forward gradually, and heavyweights are often placed at the end.

The waiter stood next to lynch with a red flannel tray in his hand.

Lynch took out a lighter from his pocket and put it on. He briefly explained its use, value and some characteristics. The waiter listened carefully and left quickly.

"I thought you'd be ready in advance." penny was still curious. "What if any of you didn't bring these things?"

"Will someone prepare something in advance and send it, such as some oil paintings?"

"Real estate is actually quite suitable..."

Lynch sighed. He turned his head to penny. "You're at least wearing shoes, aren't you?"

Penny curled her lips. She didn't understand the ideas of these adults at all. In her opinion, such a party should be handled very seriously. All preparations should be made a few days or even weeks in advance. Everyone is looking forward to this moment.

But... Her prepared passion soon cooled down. No one bid. It was said to be an auction. It was more like a boring and ordinary fund-raising.

It's different from what she thought!

In fact, Penny's understanding of this matter is fundamentally wrong. Such fund-raising charity activities, auction or charity, are not the core. Only fund-raising is the core.

As for how to raise money, it doesn't matter. What matters is that the money is in place.

It doesn't make sense to prepare in advance. On the contrary, it's better to "donate" a personal item and then spend money to buy it back, which saves time and energy for each other.

As for why not raise money directly in the form of fund-raising, but by auction, it is because the tax exemption that can be obtained by auction and fund-raising is different!

Yes, Mr. and Mrs. president are so considerate. When they take money from everyone's pockets to put money on their faces, they don't forget to do enough work for everyone to avoid more taxes.

"This is an exquisite lighter donated by Mr. Lynch. It is handmade by a famous master. The interior adopts a high-purity Handmade Brass body, which is firm and corrosion-resistant. The shell adopts pure gold and is inlaid with 88 gemstones of various colors."

The auctioneer said and turned on the lighter. The metal tremor made the whole venue hear!

A good lighter, at least from the introduction of the auctioneer and its performance.

"The original price of this lighter is about 50000 federal sol, and the starting price is 50000. You can bid..."

Penny sat and stuck out her tongue. Her tender little tongue flashed away between her lips. She didn't expect that it was just a lighter that was so expensive!

God, she now makes a movie at about the same price. She knows that Lynch has many similar lighters. At the thought of these, her mind is a little dizzy.

She asked herself a question - what are you doing so hard?

Can't you win?

Of course, no one can answer this question, nor can she. Sometimes it's not so easy to lie down and win.

Lynch raised his hand, "one million..." with a warm smile on his face, "this lighter has been with me for a long time. I have special feelings for it. At the same time, I feel that at Mrs. Barbara's initiative, we really need to do something within our ability for this society. I hope you don't compete with me. Thank you!"

He said these words, on the one hand, to make fun, on the other hand, to avoid trouble.

No one has made trouble at such an auction. For example, if someone wants to flatter Lynch or asks him, they will donate the money instead of Lynch.

It's obviously a good deal to spend 50000 yuan to take this thing in exchange for Lynch's favor!

The purpose of Lynch's speech is also to eliminate the possibility of this situation.

If someone did that and bid for each other, it would be a shame.

Fortunately, no one wanted to test Lynch with a million. The people who could come were not poor. After the auctioneer quickly made tens of thousands of sounds, the mallet was settled.

Lynch had prepared a cashier's check and put it on a red flannel tray while the waiter brought back his lighter.

One million promissory notes, issued by Jinhui bank, can be directly exchanged for one million cash in any bank.

The promissory note is also one of the financial instruments most often used by capitalists besides the check.

Here, the auction price has suddenly increased a lot. No matter what they do, they can't give less than Lynch.

The president looked at Lynch and nodded slightly. Lynch knew what he meant and thanked himself.

Raising $1 million is also raising money, and raising $10 million is also raising money. If the president's wife can't raise a big number, Mr. President's face can't be saved.

Even if the people behind are hovering around one million, the auction can raise almost 20 million, enough to make Mr. and Mrs. president's face rise in the media.

At this time, some people in the front row also glanced back at Lynch. Lynch raised the price several times higher than Lynch's previous bid of more than 122300000.

Compared with the normal eyes of everyone, the eyes of the two young Duncan family seem less polite.

"He shouted the price too high, which is beyond our plan!"

The speaker was the leader of the young generation of Duncan family. After taking back his salty eyes from Lynch's face, he looked at the big brother around him and whispered a complaint.

Originally, their plan was to donate 500000 or 600000, but now it should be at least more than 1 million.

As one of the most powerful families in the union, the Duncan family's honor does not allow them to be confused with those "inferior families".

If Lynch donated one million, they would donate 1.5 million or even 2 million to show the status and momentum of the Duncan family.

Sitting next to him, the young man he called "big brother" had an incomprehensible smile on his face, "it's not a lot of money. Just donate."

He glanced sideways at the young people around him, "a big family should have the magnanimity of a big family. Let's donate two million..."

The young man nodded and stopped talking.

The auction continued at this pace. Mr. waldrick donated his tie clip and spent 1.2 million to buy it back. Lynch called the price too high. He didn't intend to spend so much money.

Mr. PATU donated Anna's diamond hairpin and bought it back for 1.2 million.

Everyone follows a rule that does not need communication. In the upper society, this rule is everywhere. Many people rashly enter the upper society with some little luck, but they can't do it.

It seems that there is an invisible wall around them, which firmly limits their behavior. This is the disadvantage of having no inside information. Even some of the most simple rules can't be mastered.

Finally, the normal charitable fundraising ended with the Duncan family spending $2 million to buy a wristwatch. The president's wife said the total amount of fundraising excitedly, which was an amazing figure.

At least it was more than twice as high as she expected, and all this was due to Lynch's shouting. He directly disrupted the ascending order of the price, so that the people behind had to pay more money.

A $2 million donation from more than a dozen people in front.

The president's wife knows who to thank, but she didn't show it immediately. At this time, excessively thanking Lynch or focusing on Lynch will only provoke some potential hostility for him.

After the successful conclusion of the party, Mr. and Mrs. president had a special exchange with him when they saw off the guests and sent them to Lynch.

"In two days, at the weekend, I hope you are free. I will hold a barbecue party in my back garden. Are you free?"

Lynch helped the president and his wife a lot. They should repay Lynch, for example, obviously enhance their relations and contacts, and then talk about the distribution of interests in the future.

"It's a great honor. I have just collected the best wine. I'll take it with me at that time." he promised happily.

The president reached out his hand and shook Lynch again. "Then I'll wait for you. Come early and we can talk!"

"Sure!"

After saying goodbye to the president and his wife, they met Mr. waldrick as soon as they came out.

He was chatting with them in a low voice. When he saw Lynch coming, he ended his conversation with others and looked at Lynch, "talk?"
